As well as breaking the law, they’re playing a dangerous game with electricity. Overloading a cable with a higher current than it can handle is a recipe for disaster. Besides the hazard to human life, your insurance is unlikely to cover precious possessions that went up in flames because of a dodgy power cord.

PLUG AND PLAY: It’s so much safer and easier (not to mention, legal) to simply use an Ampfibian caravan power adaptor when connecting your van or RV at a friend’s place, at home, or anywhere without 15A power. Ampfibian, Australia’s caravan electrical safety specialists, make adaptors that are tough, weatherproof and will keep the supply circuit safe from overheating, so you don’t have to worry about it causing a fire. Every model includes a residual current device (RCD) to protect you and your family from the risk of electrocution, as well as a circuit breaker to prevent overloads that could cause overheating and fire.

SURGE OF INTEREST: It’s not just lightning that causes power surges. Heavy equipment switching on or off, and generators running out of power, can also trigger surges that could fry your electronics. The Ampfibian surge protector is Australia’s first caravan-specific 15A surge protector; plugged between the camping ground’s power supply and your van, it provides protection for all your connected electronics. Ampfibian’s weatherproof surge protector even includes an outlet diagnostic to immediately alert you if the power supply is wired incorrectly – it does happen!
